Event: Buffalo Orienteering Festival
 

An excelent race! I felt great! I thought the orienteering was very easy, no where near normally middle dificulty, but I was running at the point where I could barely orienteer (threshold?) and it felt really good!

Good race, just slow...

Middle - Red Y - Splits

Sprint - Course 3 - Splits

Touring around RIT (lots of walking) but no time to train :(

Should I run blue?

C • Would that be your long run? 6

Left around 6:00. I had a meeting with my Grad Challenge Community Consultant which went well (they have really cool stuff!)

12:15 to the start and then running back. On the way out, I went across the golf course. I glanced back (wierd feeling) and there was a golf cart following me. I knew it was the owne (somehow) but payed no attention. He musta been really surprised when i ran off the golf course down into a reentrant... HE said "Hey! don't run here. People are golfing. Off season is ok, but not now." I said "ok" about 20 times. But I think what really weirded him out was that I took off into the woods! haha.

On the way back, i had an equally bad encounter. I couldn't go back across the golf course, but i knew of a trail that would lead me to a neighbohood about a mile and a half from my house. I almost made it out of the neighbohood... A man was working on his car, I looked ove and he yelled "Hey!" I was wondering who he was talking to... I hadn't done anyhthing wrong... Then i saw the dog....I'm sure that normally it is very nice, but it sure wasn't right then. I used my runner instincts and actually ran at the dog an yelled at it. a lot of "HEY!"s an "GET BACKS!"s after yelling "Come!"a few times, the owner decided to WALK over and get his dog. I just ran off...

Awesome run! It was a bit late (7:45) when i started running but I loved the woods! I did really well and nailed all of the contols. I skipped the last two because it was getting really dark and I din't wana cross the big ugly marsh...

Had my mom plan out a course where we were going to run. I ran it in 30 min and felt good and fast. I didn't wea my HRM because it doesn't seem to do well through the woods (falls down etc.) My foot only hurt a bit, but never any real pain, more of just an annoyance. The course went well. THe map is iffy in area's, though (i'd know, i made the thing) so parts were tough. It was a 1:5000 so reading was easy, but finding features on the ground was tough. THey just weren't as big as you'd expect. In genreal, though, good fun run!

Biked to catamount (for the run) and back. mainly because there was no car for me to commandeer... but also because I wanted the easy warm up.

A good run through the woods! It got really boring without a map or preset path... But it was hilly enough (especially towards the end) that I felt that i got a good, quality workout.

Event: Billygoat
 

YAY! Billygoat! My foot didn't hurt either! I took the right fork and skipped 15. The forking was wierd, I never actually knew it was there... I just automatically went for the better one (yes, right was better). I never really had any significant mistakes besides 20 (that was pretty bad...). But in general, it was a good race. I was moving quickly and reading my map well. I was behind/near people for most of the race, but not following (except for the 1st 3...).

C • nice goat race 2
